Did you know that financial abuse is one of the biggest reasons people stay trapped in harmful relationships? It doesn’t leave bruises, but it can be just as devastating. It’s about control, manipulation, and keeping someone powerless. So what does it actually look like, and how do you break free?
On this episode of Women and Money: The Shit We Don’t Talk About, we are thrilled to welcome Leah Davis, the founder of Leah Davis Coaching. Leah is a wealth and wellness coach dedicated to serving women of color, especially those who have experienced domestic violence and discrimination. With a trauma-informed approach, Leah helps women understand financial abuse, heal from financial trauma, and rebuild from scratch.
Leah shares her deeply personal journey in this episode. After leaving an abusive relationship thinking she was finally free, she then found herself up against legal battles, financial sabotage, and the challenges of fighting for custody in courtrooms. She brings the REAL, raw truth about what happens when financial abuse doesn’t stop after you leave, and how to take back control.
Leah’s story is powerful, inspiring, and full of real-life strategies for any woman navigating financial abuse or rebuilding after trauma. She also shares why financial education is critical for women of color, what most women get wrong about money, and the habits that can help you create true financial freedom.
If you or someone you know might be dealing with financial abuse, tune in, get the support you need, and start taking your power back today.
